(en) Animal Equality activists have rescued five hens from a farm containing 160,000 animals on Monday 16 September.

After entering one of the sheds via an unlocked door and without having to use any type of force, the activists removed five hens, who were later examined by a vet. One of them had to be operated on to remove a huge mass from her head resulting from an old eye infection. Another hen is currently receiving veterinary treatment but is out of danger.

These animals were being subjected to a process called a forced molt, in which through severe food restriction - including going for days without eating - and in total darkness, their bodies are shocked into a new cycle of egg-laying.

These one-and-a-half-year-old animals have spent the last eleven months trapped behind bars without being able to see the sun. They are suffering from various nutritional deficiencies and some of them also have liver damage due to the high protein content of their food which is given in order to increase the weight of their eggs.

The Animal Equality Open Rescue Team has recorded these images because we believe it is essential that society has access to what happens inside places like these so they have the ability to think about how the animals must feel.

This rescue was carried out on a farm with battery cages similar to the 'enriched cages' which will obligatory from 2012 onwards throughout the European Union. Nevertheless, on 'free-range' farms, hens are still deprived of their freedom and used as mere resources for human benefit, and finally all of them are sent to the slaughterhouse at a fraction of their natural lifespan.

In Spain, more than 47 million hens are victims of this system which exists to satisfy the demand for eggs. Eggs that we do not even need. In the UK the figure is 32 million. The same number of male chicks - their brothers - are also victims of this consumption. Often forgotten they do not even register in official statistics. On every type of farm, male chicks are killed, either ground up alive or gassed, because they do not lay eggs and they are not profitable for any other purpose.

Animal Equality rescues animals not only to help these particular individuals, but also to get society to reflect and stop seeing the other animals with which we share the planet as being at our disposal, as resources we can make a profit from.

As in all open rescues we carry out, we always come away filled with a sensation of sadness and impotence when we have to close the door and leave behind the thousands of other animals who will suffer their whole lives only to end up with their throats slit in a slaughterhouse.

We are simply unable to rescue all the animals on farms, in slaughterhouses, or laboratories. Ending this ongoing animal holocaust depends on each one of us, it depends on removing our financial support from all of it, in all its forms.

Living as vegans means we free those animals who were going to be forced to suffer and die for our demands, and builds a base of support for a world that is more equal for all, regardless of the species we belong to.

Towards the abolition of animal slavery.

(en) What happens when one industry has too much power? Politicians become pawns. Laws are created and prevented. Regulations are bypassed. Information is controlled. Dissent is stifled. Our climate changes. And people die.

SEVENTH GENERATION is a documentary film exposing the shocking lengths the fossil fuel industry travels to ensure maximum profits for executives and shareholders.

In the United States, this industry spends millions of dollars annually to lobby Congress, ensuring the political support necessary to pass supportive or block restrictive laws. Using this control, the industry has managed to dictate energy and climate policies in the U.S., working alongside federal administrations. The same industry has spent millions of dollars to fund think tanks, organizations, and scientists who have waged a global campaign of deceit regarding the science of climate change and its dire impacts. Those who have spoken out against the corruption, environmental and health impacts caused by its irresponsible business practices have been assaulted, jailed, tortured, and murdered.

This unchecked corporate drive for profits has come at the expense of workers, families, indigenous peoples, the environment, and threatens our very survival on the planet. It has and continues to undermine democracy in the United States.

SEVENTH GENERATION was filmed on location in the United States, Tuvalu, Fiji, England, Belgium, Denmark, Kenya, Uganda, Peru, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, Netherlands, and Germany. The film is currently in post production and scheduled to be released in 2012.

The film charts the lives of both humans and non-humans who have experienced animal testing first-hand. With hauntingly honest testimony by scientists and lab technicians who's ethics demanded they choose a different path, and simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of animals who have seen both sides of the cage, the film aims to re-invigorate the debate about animal testing by bringing these rarely-heard perspectives to the fore.

Weekend Eats

A Creamy Berry Puff Pancake is the perfect thing to make for that lazy weekend breakfast, why go out when you can pull this together in no time while you're still all comfy and cozy in your slippers!

Put the coffee on, relax and read the Sunday paper while it's baking in the oven, it only takes

20 - 25 minutes.

The batter takes 5 minutes to whisk up, it consists of ,** 1 cup of flour** 1 cup of milk** 4 beaten eggs** a pinch of salt** 1 teaspoon of vanilla** 1 tablespoon of sugar**

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in an 8 inch oven proof skillet, next pour 1 cup of the batter in, swirl it around and place it in a preheated 450F oven for 20 - 25 minutes.

You'll be able to make two 8 inch pans like I did, using 1 cup of batter in each or one large pan using all the batter plus the 2 tablespoons of butter. I would think at least a 12 inch skillet size would work, although I never tried it. I have a 14 inch and I figured that was too big.

The sides puffed up perfectly just like they're suppose to, creating the perfect vessel to fill!

I filled mine with berries and sweetened ricotta as the base, the ricotta was mixed with,

** orange zest and powdered sugar** **less than a cup of ricotta** ** 2 0r 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar**, taste it to your liking.

Slice it into generous wedges and drizzle with warm maple syrup for the perfect ending!

Recipe adapted from food.com

If you prefer brunch, make yourself this Pasta Frittata, you'll be amazed at the different variations you can create with just, **a handfull of leftover pasta** some eggs** a dollop of ricotta cheese** grated cheese** and fresh herbs**

After my frittata's start to "set" on top of the stove (where the egg mixture stops moving), I like to finish them off under the broiler, but don't walk away, keep watching it, believe me it could burn in a matter of seconds! Just get it nice and golden brown.

I like to serve this with an arugula salad tossed with an olive oil, lemon and parmesan dressing. So good!

If you want to add a little meat to your morning breakfast try this Baked Sausage and Eggs.

I like to serve this in individual gratin dishes for a nice presentation.

** Preheat your oven to 375F. ** Use 1 link of Italian sausage per serving, casings removed and browned before baking** Butter or brush olive oil into your gratin dish** Crack 2 eggs plus 1 egg white into each individual dish** Sprinkle your favorite dried seasonings over top along with grated parmesan cheese, I used fennel and oregano for mine** Scatter with halved cherry tomatoes** Bake until eggs set, ovens will vary**

Relax and enjoy your weekend!

Buon Appetito

Venice

In Venice the red,
Never a boat thats sped,
No fisher on the mere,
No lantern near.

Seated alone on shore,
The Lion grand lifts
Over Horizon without flaw,
His bronzed paw.

Around him,
Ranged in groups,
Great vessels and shallops,
Like herons all adoze
In silent rows,

On smoking waves reclined
And oer the mist entwined,
Their standards, hovering
In airy ring.

The moon that groweth pale,
Her fading brow doth veil,
A cloud all starry lined
Half hidden behind.

(fr) En Angleterre au début des années 90, le Criminal Justice Bill de Margaret Thatcher interdit les rassemblements autour des musiques électroniques, les "rave party". Les aficionados les plus engagés, quittent le pays pour continuer a vivre leur passion. Parmi eux, la mythique "Spiral Tribe" commence a sillonner l’Europe. A partir de son modele, des groupes se forment en France, République Tcheque, Italie (autres pays) et créent un nouveau moyen d’expression. La "Free Party", une fete libre, illégale, alternative, qui réunit un public marginal et libertaire.

En France, les fetes libres sont inconnues du grand public. Quelques centaines, voire un ou deux milliers de participants profitent de ces zones d’autonomie temporaires (cf. Hakim Bey, TAZ / Zone Autonome Temporaire) importées par les travellers anglais. Dans le meme temps, l’Etat français, suivant le modele anglais, réprime les soirées techno légales, et pousse les "raveurs" a la clandestinité. Beaucoup d’entre eux viennent gonfler les rangs du tout nouveau mouvement des "Free Parties". Quelques années apres l’arrivée des anglais, un collectif français fait ses premieres armes. Les "Heretik" se définissent comme "ne souscrivant pas a la doctrine établie".

«Pendant quelques années, on a multiplié les free. Musique, drogue, accidents, prison, activisme et succes rapide. A la fin des années 90, a la place du credo "pour vivre heureux vivons cachés", on décide de développer une stratégie de coup d’éclat pour revendiquer le droit a la fete libre. Des "attentats sonores", des fetes illégales qui réunissent des milliers de personnes jusqu’au cour de la capitale.»

Le film retrace sans tabous plus de 10 ans d’activisme de cette tribu moderne, qui mene des premieres fetes clandestines jusqu’aux temples de la société du spectacle. Les Heretik auront gravi jusqu’aux marches de l’Olympia, la mythique salle parisienne. Plongez dans l’intimité tourmentée d’un groupe phare de la contre-culture.

(en) In the beginning of the 90's, Margaret Thatcher's Criminal Justice Bill bans rave parties in England. The most committed supporters and followers of the scene, organised in modern tribes, leave the country to continue to live their passion and create a new alternative and libertarian means of expression. These are the free parties that are parties free of any restrictions and are based on personal freedom and responsibility.
Inspired by this way of life, new collectives form in France, the Czech Republic, Italy and other countries. Among them French, "Heretik System" becomes one of the symbols of the free party movement by focusing on excess and provocation. Meanwhile, following the English model, the French government suppresses the legal techno parties and pushes ravers underground.
Using the name "Heretik" coming from "Heretic" defined as "not conforming to established beliefs" the collective organises a sequence of free parties over several years. The group consists of many with strong personalities. During the first years of existence of the collective their way of life is close to that of punk and DIY. Music, drugs, accidents and prison mixes with virulent activism and quick success. With time the Heretiks change their strategy pattern to achieve remarkable feats rather than sticking to their previous philosophy of living hidden in order to live happily. To claim for the right to party freely they organise "sound attacks" - illegal parties for thousands of people reaching even to the very heart of the capital city (such as the Molitor swimming pool that lays in the 16th arrondissement of Paris).
The film reviews 10 years of existence of this urban tribe, revealing the history of the Heretik system from their underground beginnings to their triumph on top of the entertainment business.

(cz) V první polovině 90. let vydala vláda Margaret Thatcherové Criminal Justice Act, který zakázal pořádání rave parties ve Velké Británii. Lidé pohybující se v této "nomádské" subkultuře tak museli hledat jiné cesty pro svoji seberealizaci. Ti nejzapálenější příznivci této scény odešli do zahraničí, aby mohli ve svém způsobu života pokračovat.
Nové komunity začaly vznikat ve Francii, Itálii, Česku a dalších zemích. Mezi ně patří i "Heretik System" z Francie, který se stal symbolem tohoto hnutí. Mezitím ovšem francouzská vláda následovala tu britskou a legální free techno parties byly také postaveny mimo zákon.
Soundsystem Heretik organizoval nejrůznější party po dobu několika let. V průběhu prvních let existence fungovali na principech punku a DIY a muzika, drogy, nehody a vězení se mísily s nakažlivým aktivismem a rychlým úspěchem. Postupem času Heretik změnil strategii a zaměřil se raději na masivní úspěch mésto lpění na původních ideálech.
Dokument We Had a Dream rekapituluje deset let existence tohoto soundsystemu, od jeho undergroundových počátků až po cestu na vrchol zábavního průmyslu.

Ricotta Stuffed Meatballs

I got the inspiration to make this the other night while I was flipping channels on my remote, I came across a show on Food Network it was either "Unique Eats" or "The Best Thing I Ever Ate", I can't tell you which one it was but the girl was just raving about these Ricotta Stuffed Meatballs that she ate at some restaurant.

What caught my attention was the brilliant way in which the Chef stuffed them, he did it by freezing balls of ricotta, placing them inside the meat and them forming the rest of the meat all around it.

I couldn't wait to try out his method, it sounded so easy!

Martha once had someone on her show who baked the meatballs first then took a apple corer and cut through the center of the meatball after which he took a pastry bag filled with ricotta and squeezed it into the hole, sounds like a lot of work to me plus you're wasting some of the meatball, and besides I wanted my ricotta cooked.



There was no recipe, I just winged it, you'll be amazed how easy it is to do.
Mix up your ricotta in a separate bowl, I added romano cheese, salt, pepper, chopped basil and parsley to mine, no egg.
The size of your meatballs will determine the size of your ricotta balls, I made a few giant meatballs, like one per person size and I also made regular sized ones, so I rolled my ricotta accordingly, placed the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and into the freezer they went for about an hour.

While you're waiting mix up your meat, I usually always add, garlic, onion, egg, grated cheese, moist bread, salt, pepper and fresh chopped parsley to mine.

When the ricotta balls are frozen and ready to go, take some meat in the palm of your hand, place the ball of ricotta inside, then cover it with more meat to form a ball, that's it!

Although it's hard to see the perspective in this photo, these were the giant meatballs I made, one was enough per person to fill you up.
I served these big ones with a salad and roasted cauliflower for our dinner.

I also rolled up a tray of regular sized meatballs, I was curious to see if it would work and the ricotta would stay tucked inside after they cooked, and It did perfectly!

Bake them in a hot oven 400F - 425F
until done, of course that it will all depend on the size you make your meatballs.

Let them cool down a bit before you try to stick your fork inside
otherwise the ricotta will just run out. Trust me, I know!

Spoon some freshly made marinara over the top, dowse it with grated cheese
now grab your fork!

I'm telling you my dear friends, this...was ...

good!!

Buon Appetito!

On the Sly

Unlike Rome, where you can take pictures in all the most beautiful churches and famous museums, even St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums (Sistine Chapel being the only exception) Venice is not very "photographers friendly". No pictures inside the Basilica, nor in the Doge's Palace, or in the museums, or in most of the chuches... I perfectly understand the flashlight to be prohibited. Dangerous for the artworks and unpleasant for your fellows visitors. But in Venice the photographer is hunted. The paradox is that almost everybody can make a picture with a telephone or with a compact camera without being seen. And obviously they don't hesitate to do it. But whent you own a noisy "reflex camera" it's almost impossible to go unnoticed. But sometimes I try my luck, shooting without aiming when there is no guard around. It never gives a great result, and you can be scolded by the guard. But well, "A vaincre sans péril, on triomphe sans gloire" would say this old Corneille.

(en)

Koji Wakamatsu, Japan’s most controversial filmmaker, brilliantly reconstructs the most troubling episode in the bloody history of Japanese student-radical extremism through the true story of the United Red Army faction, which had its roots in the 60’s when Japanese students protested America using Japan as a staging base for its war in Vietnam.

In 1972, 14 members of the United Red Army faction lynched each other during group “self-criticism” sessions while training in the mountains and the survivors holed up at the Asama Sanso Mountain Lodge,

which quickly degenerated into a ten-day stand-off with the police that is one of the pivotal moments in Japanese history, as famous in Japan as Martin Luther King’s assassination is in America.

Wakamatsu’s film is an earnest attempt to process the shock that the Japanese left was experiencing at the time and to grasp the motivation of the militant students.

A gut-wrenching docudrama underlaid with electrifying psychedelic rock music by Sonic Youth founder member Jim O’Rourke.

Wakamatsu problematiku dokonale zná, stejně jako zná osobně mnoho zúčastněných (jeho politická orientace je dostatečně známa), a zuřivě tepe do vlastních řad.

(en) We Women Warriors (Nosotras Mujeres Guerreras) offers stories of hope, unshakable courage and faith in the survival of indigenous culture.
We Women Warriors

Five years in the making, We Women Warriors is an independent documentary that follows the lives of three indigenous women in Colombia as they strive to nonviolently defend their peoples autonomy in a climate of constant military violence:

Doris Puchana, is a young mother who governs a vulnerable Awá population that traditionally grows coca leaves. Ludis Rodriguez, is a spunky Kankuamo widow who is framed and captured on false charges of rebellion. Flor Ilva Trochez, is the first female Nasa governor of Jambaló, who leads a pacific movement to dismantle police barracks that endanger civilians by placing them in the line of fire.

Even though We Women Warriors bears witness to human rights abuses; the film gives a voice to these women who never lose hope, courage or faith. Despite her life being threatened after denouncing a massacre in her village, Doris does not abandon her tribal post. Once Ludis is freed she is able to move onward with her family, coping and healing after systematic violence swept through her region. Flor and her people put Colombia's constitutional indigenous autonomy into practice and strive to create a territory free of armed fighters.

Visit the film's official website at http://www.wewomenwarriors.com/.

In their recent report, "Sweet Words, Air of Life", the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC) notes that all 102 distinct Indigenous Peoples in Colombia "are at risk of disappearing" because of the ongoing conflict between Colombia's armed forces and paramilitary groups like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC).

32 of these people are a particular concern, says ONIC, "due to the fact that they have a population of less than 500 people, the majority concentrated in the regions of Amazonía and Orinoquía. Of these 32 peoples, 18 have a population of less than 200 people, and 10 are composed of less than 100 individuals."

Within this context, on January 26, 2009, the Constitutional Court of Colombia issued a Decree on behalf of the indigenous peoples, in which it was concluded that the indigenous peoples "are in danger of becoming physically and culturally extinct." The decree ordered the national government to implement a Program that guarantees the Human Rights for all the Indigenous Peoples.

To date, the government has failed to create such a program.

Ariving in Venice

Hi my dear friends and VDP visitors. I'm back and going to take over for a while, untill our friend Bert (whom I want to thank warmly for having dealt with VDP with so much talent) takes the helm again! To tell the truth, Bert's photos and words have been found copied onto another site without authorisation, and so we are trying to stop it happening, which is why I have taken over the helm and will put on the pictures from now on this clumsy "watermark".

Artisinal Pasta Tools, and a Day of Pasta Making with Friends

I've been yearning for a corzetti stamp for a long time, practically begging relatives of mine to search out one for me on their recent trip to Italy, which by the way they never could find. Little did I know back then that I could have gotten one right here in this country, specifically from California!

Fast forward about a month later when Terry Mirri, the owner of a company named,

Fatto in America - Artisanal Pasta Tools, contacted me to try out two of his handcrafted artisinal pasta tools, a corzetti stamp and a garganelli board. Their mission is for home chefs to explore food preparation with tools rarely seen by the American consumer. After receiving them and actually seeing the fine craftsmanship that went into each design, the beautiful woods they used, I was in awe!

Corzetti are a highly decorative pasta, but at the same time it's also functional because the embossed pattern helps to hold oily sauces such as different types of pestos.

Just one look at this garganelli board and you will be amazed to see all the work that was put into making this. Fifty six individually cut slats of wood anchored in place with natural jute, all done by hand, oh, and you can also make gnocchi on this too!

Garganelli pasta are thin ridged tubes that are shaped by wrapping ( 2 inch) squares of egg pasta diagonally around a wooden dowel, then rolling it over the slats, ( or combs) to give it it's signature ridges.
Needless to say, I couldn't wait to start making pasta with both of these beautiful tools!

But because it's really not fun to make pasta all by yourself I asked my three good friends, Jean, Joanne and Mary-Alice to join me. Joanne (middle) graciously offered her beautiful newly remodeled kitchen for all of us to work in.

We arrived early in the morning with our aprons and ingredients in hand to the smell of monkey bread baking in the oven, a delicious egg and sausage breakfast ring loaded with all sorts of veggies and cheese, fresh fruit and coffee brewing, not a bad way to start the day off, hey?

After our fulfilling breakfast it was time to get started, we made all the dough first, the eggs were cracked, the flour measured and with a little tweaking with the measurements, into the food processor it went, as each recipe was completed we wrapped the dough in plastic and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Time to crank out the pasta sheets! Just look at the texture of the dough, nice and smooth. Nice job girls!

I couldn't wait to try this, here's what you do, you cut out the circles with one end of the stamp, ( like a cookie cutter) then you flip the stamp over and place the circle of dough over the embossed side, then take the other section which has the knob handle on it, stamp down over the circle. The underside of the handle, which you can't see in the picture also has the imprint, so when completed both sides will have the beautiful design on it.

Look how easy the dough peels off! Perfection! On a side note I did a comparison with a corzetti stamp that was purchased from a popular online kitchenware site but it was very inferior to Terry Mirri's product, the wood was rough, the circles didn't cut right, I could barely peel the pasta off the stamp, and as for the design factor, you couldn't even see it!

I can't say enough about Terry's products, the craftsmanship is unbelievable, heirloom quality which can be handed down throughout generations! Check out his other products too, he carries polenta and cavarola boards, and a handmade storage box to house your pasta machine.

Aren't they beautiful? This is not something you would make everyday but on holidays or a very special occasion, it will be the object of conversation!

We made multiple trays of these, but waited until we got home to freeze them and place into freezer bags.

Making the garganelli was easy once we all got the hang of it, here's what you do,**cut dough into squares**position squares with point slightly over jute rail**wet far tip with water** place spindle over square**flip the tops of pasta over spindle**push and roll over the slats with your palm**slide garganelli off.

After our trays of garganelli were finished we left them single layered so as not to squish the cylinder and waited until we got home to freeze and bag them up.

We had many scraps leftover from cutting out the corzetti so we became very resourceful and started making spaghetti and fettuccine and even a few pasta sheets.

Pasta was every where, on tables and counters, we had a sea of pasta from one end to the other!

Here we are admiring the fruits of our labor, so much fun, can't wait to do it again girls!

I cooked up my corzetti a few days later and used a garlic, olive oil, basil, parsley and parmesan sauce which I gently spooned over the cooked pasta and sprinkled toasted walnuts all over. Delicate, light and oh so good!

Imagine bringing a huge platter of these out to your table, your guests will be wowed! Look how pretty the design turned out.

Although there are many different sauces you could use for the garganelli I opted for a nice marinara, it was wonderful!

What a labor of love pasta making is but worth all the effort especially when you do it with family and good friends!

Buon Appetito!
